The London Metro Police have decided that George Michael is no longer fit to operate a moving vehicle. Michael was found passed out in the driver’s seat of his car with a small amount of marijuana in his possession. Michael, of course, denies the fact that he is an unfit driver and is fighting the decision.

The 43-year-old pop star was not present at the Brent Magistrates Court; his attorney, Keima Payton, entered the not guilty plea on his behalf.

Payton based Michael’s claim of innocence for the unfit driving charge on the fact that blood samples taken the night of his arrest were done so illegally, thus voiding their results.

A pretrial hearing, which Michael again won’t be required to attend, has been set for Mar. 7 and will determine whether or not the results of the test will be admissible during the singer’s trial, itself scheduled to take place April 23.
